Blurb:

Feisty, stubborn, and bored with life in Texas, Anne Best is about to get more than she bargained for.

The lovely widow heads off to the Big Apple for a job interview, expecting no more than a few days adventure in New York City, only to find herself with a new job working for the most infuriating man she's ever met.

Billionaire Steven Gherring is one of New York's Most Eligible Bachelors, and he has every intention of staying that way. But Gram has other ideas. She's on a not-so-secret campaign to find a wife for her grandson.

As fearless as she is clumsy, Anne tackles every challenge (including her new boss) enthusiastically, with two lone exceptions... public speaking and recognizing her own feelings. Passions rise along with hemlines as Gram joins forces with Anne, a veteran matchmaker, to find the perfect match for Steven.

BIO

Tamie Dearen lives with her very romantic husband of thirty-three years. She has two beautiful daughters, two amazing son-in-laws, and one awesome grandson. She plays piano, flute, harmonica, keyboards, and guitar, and loves composing and art. And she hates housework. She has been a dentist in private practice for thirty years. She stays busy playing on her church's praise team and leading a weekly Bible study. In her spare time, she writes books.

Tamie specializes in writing “clean’ books without excessive violence, offensive language, or explicit sex. She has published a Romantic Comedy series called The Best Girls, which includes a free novella and four full-length novels, and recently published her first Christian Romance, Noelle’s Golden Christmas. She has also published the two books in a Young Adult Fantasy series, Alora: The Wander-Jewel, and Alora: The Portal. To combine her love of music with her writing, Tamie composed the background music for the Alora Series video trailer and a Christmas song, which is linked in the back of Noelle’s Golden Christmas. Her latest book, A Rose in Bloom, a romantic comedy serial story, is available for pre-order and will be released March 13.

Tamie met her husband as a freshman in college when she acted out of character on a whim. One night in the library lobby, she spied a cute guy with his first name written on the back of his shirt. She called out his name. When he approached to talk to her, she pretended that she'd met him before, asking about his classes and how he liked college. To her surprise and delight, he also pretended that he knew her, but of course he didn't know her name. They continued this false relationship for two months. Each time they saw each other, an event that occurred three times per week at the cafeteria, he would pretend he knew her. Meanwhile, all of Tamie's friends were careful not to reveal her name to him. When he finally admitted his ignorance of her name, he was astonished to learn the truth. And the rest is history.

Excerpt from Alora: The Wander-Jewel

Alora fought the urge to beat on the tile wall. He’d disappeared again. Who was this

boy she kept seeing? Why did he only appear when she was in the shower? He seemed so

real, and she could have sworn he looked as confused as she felt. As if he was trying to

figure out who she was, as well. Was he a figment of her imagination? His eyes were so

unusual. They were green. Not an ordinary green, but a deep, intense jade, the color of

her aunt’s emerald ring. He was really cute, although he wore his wavy brown hair a little

long for her taste. Yet she could only see his head—never his clothes or the background.

Today he’d tied his hair back in a ponytail. Surely the fact he’d changed his hair was

significant. Wouldn’t a figment of her imagination have his hair the same every time?

She peeked around the shower curtain at the clock on the bathroom counter. It was

five a.m. on a Saturday, and she had chores to do, feeding the horses and letting the

chickens out. But it was winter, so she had plenty of time to spare before the rising sun

tolled the beginning of her responsibilities. Living on a ranch in the backcountry of

Montana meant cold winters, lots of work, and little time for leisure. It was the only life

she’d ever known, and she usually enjoyed it, despite the heavy work involved.

But right now, she wanted another stab at seeing that boy. The image was always so

fuzzy. If only he wouldn’t disappear when she opened her eyes. She couldn’t summon his

visage at will. He didn’t come every time she closed her eyes in the shower; it seemed to

happen when she was relaxing and letting the water beat down on her head and shoulders.

Maybe, if she were soaking in the tub, she might see his image again.

She pushed the curtain back, put in the stopper, and turned the faucet on full blast. As

an afterthought, she added bubble bath, filling the tub with fragrant suds. Soon the bath

was full, with aromatic bubbles foaming on top. She eased into the soothing water,

closing her eyes at the blissful caress of the heat on her tight muscles. And she waited.

Anticipating. Would he come? She tried to stay alert, but the relaxing warmth seeped into

her skin, lulling her to sleep.

Awakening with a start in the cold water, disappointment formed a knot in her

stomach—he’d never appeared. She released some water down the drain and added hot

water, swirling it around until the temperature was comfortable again. She had five more

minutes before she had to abandon her bath to start her workday. She lay back down,

sinking below the water with her eyes closed, swishing the fresh water over her skin to

remove the bubble bath film, her face floating above the surface to breathe.

He appeared. She held her breath, clamping her eyes shut tight, trying to hold the

image as long as possible. Though the apparition was still slightly blurry, she could see

all of him, head to toe. She took advantage of her increased perception, thoroughly

studying his image. She almost clapped her hands when her mental measurement

estimated his height at over six feet. At five feet ten, she was taller than most boys her

age. But she scolded herself for examining him as if he were a potential boyfriend. He

wasn’t even real. His clothes were made of supple-looking brown leather. The attire was

odd—held together with ties and toggles rather than buttons or zippers. The fit was close

enough that his well-formed muscles were evident. She noted his long hair was tied back,

as it had been earlier. She could only see the front of him as he stood frozen, stock-still,

with his mouth agape, his jewel-green eyes wide and... moving. His eyes were moving, up

and down, as if he were scanning her body as she had done. And it occurred to her if she

could see all of him, he might be able to see all of her.

She gasped, opening her eyes to dispense with the specter. But his image remained,

now sharp and clear. And he seemed to be standing in her bathroom. She cowered under

the water, attempting to hide under the few remaining bubbles. His eyes dropped down to

her navel, and as they widened, he whispered, “Wendelle?”

Lunging for her towel on the floor, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Hastily

covering herself and preparing to leap from the tub, she looked up, only to discover the

vision was gone—if indeed it had been a vision.

Book Blurb

FOREWARNING:

Healing is her life. Will it be her death?

Grieving and guilt-stricken after her husband’s suicide, Kasey Martin has closed her energetic healing practice and retreated to her Oregon horse ranch. One night, she rescues a badly injured man, and against her better judgment, uses her neglected skills to save his life. This starts her on an unexpected journey of healing and danger.

Complicating her life is Jim Bradley, an old friend who has long been in love with her and wants her to return to her work. When criminals looking for her patient invade the serenity of her world, she must use her skills to save all three of their lives.

Excerpt:

Kasey Martin found a badly injured man, used her energetic healing skills to help him and got him to the hospital her late husband practiced at. Now she is waiting to hear the results of the surgery.

Bleary-eyed, Kasey focused on the approaching figure in green scrubs and her heart leapt. Brian! Reality intruded and she realized it was Jim. Then the rest of the night came back to her.

“How is he? Is he going to be okay?”

A slow smile creased Jim’s craggy face as he nodded and answered. “We’re pumping blood and fluids into him, as you would expect. His hand sustained second- and third-degree burns. To my surprise, I didn’t have to remove his spleen.” He scrubbed his hands through his sandy hair, fluffing up the damp strands.

Folding his tall, lean form, he sat on the chair next to her and put his hands on her upper arms to turn her slightly away from him. She tensed when he began massaging her shoulders, then gradually relaxed, giving into the comfort of his touch. Closing her eyes, she let her head drop as he rubbed small circles up and down her neck.

He continued in his slow, folksy drawl. “The assisting surgeon is sorta’ puzzled, though. He can’t figure out how that amount of blood came out of the small seeping wound we found. You did a good job, Rusty. I saw where a larger part had already started to heal.”

A wave of relief swept over her and the tightness in her chest released. “I’ve never tried anything like that before.”

Jim’s voice quickened with excitement and he gave her a harder squeeze. “Damn, that was fascinating. I’ve seen the results of your work from the outside for years. This is the first time I’ve seen it from the inside.”

Kasey twisted her head around. “You didn’t say anything, did you?”

“No, no, the Assisting works for Frank. I didn’t want to start something. He’ll find out about you soon enough.”

The thought of Frank Edwards, her former father-in-law, sent her blood pressure skyrocketing. Kasey wagged her head back and forth. “No. Tonight was an emergency. I can’t do my Integrative Therapy anymore. I don’t know how I managed to do anything at all.”

“But you did, and the guy probably owes you his life. You should feel damn good.”

Actually, she felt scared and exhausted. She’d taken a chance tonight. Against her better judgment, she’d used her abilities for the first time in over a year. And it appeared to have worked out—for the moment. She knew she would pay for her actions. The fatigue that was draining her now was only the beginning.

Engrossed in his own thoughts, Jim continued. “I’ve sent our mystery man up for an MRI, and I’m pretty sure they’ll find brain swelling. Seems he suffered two cranial injuries. The one on the front of his head is typical of a car accident. The other is on the side toward the back and looks like he was hit from above or something fell on him. Apparently happened a while earlier.”

He paused, while still kneading her neck and shoulders, then spoke rapidly. “Given his condition, I don’t want to pump any more drugs into him than I can help. I’d like you to work on him when he comes back.”

Jim, like many younger physicians, often looked to alternative methods to heal his patients. Still, Kasey twisted and stared at him in disbelief, then shook her head.

“No way. I’ve quit.”

“I know you’re scared and hiding out, but you obviously didn’t quit tonight. You need to finish the job.”

“And what about Frank? What would he say to my ‘finishing the job’ in his hospital?”

“He couldn’t say anything. You’d be working under my orders.” Jim leaned toward her. “Think about it.”

“All I want to think about is going home and getting some sleep.” Now that the worry was gone and she’d begun to relax, she was having trouble keeping her eyes open and her body upright in the chair. She hoped she’d be able to make it back to the ranch.

With a defeated sigh, Jim changed the subject. “Take a minute and tell me about tonight. Where did you find our patient?”

Kasey accepted the switch in topic with relief. She’d already told her story—with certain parts left out—to the Sheriff’s officer who had escorted her to the hospital. She’d learned from him they’d found no identification on the man, so they couldn’t notify anyone. They’d have to wait until he regained consciousness.

After she finished telling Jim about her rescue efforts, he nodded. “Tell Star for me she ‘done good’ when she woke you up … and so did you.”

He rose and extended his arms above his head. Glancing down at her, he paused in mid-stretch. He jerked forward and took her face in his hands.

“Jeeze, Kasey, what’s going on? You look like you’re ready to pass out.” One hand went to her wrist as he felt her pulse.

She gave him a groggy smile. “Just tired. Think I’ll take a nap before I head home.”

“You’re not going anywhere.” He scooped her into his arms and started down the hall past a deserted nurse’s station. “I’m putting you to bed. We have a few empty rooms at the end of this hallway where we’ve been remodeling. It’s far enough away from any patients that you shouldn’t be bothered by their energy.”

Kasey pushed against his chest. “Don’t be silly. Put me down. I’ll be all right in a few minutes and then I’ll head back home. The animals will want their breakfast in the morning.”

Jim frowned down at her. “No way. You can’t drive in that downpour. You’ll end up in here alongside your patient.”

From over his shoulder, Kasey could see the rain coming almost horizontally at the glass doors of the emergency room. She had to admit she didn’t look forward to another hour’s drive in that. With a sleepy shrug, she slumped against Jim’s shoulder. After so long alone, it felt good to be held and taken care of.
